LFPL Book Sale Off For Now

The Louisville Free Public Library has cancelled its fall book sale, but the Friends of the Library will hold another sale in the spring. Consuming Louisville is also sponsoring LFPL fundraisers.

More Ways To Help The Library

In a round of cross-linking that would make Ouroboros proud, Michelle at Consuming Louisville has noticed my comment that all of the benefits for the LFPL require eating.

Well, now you can help the library and not have to eat a cake, cookie or tortilla full of eggs:

Photographer Courtney Paris has donated a photo session and prints to Consuming Louisville. The prize will be sold in a silent auction.

Bidding continues through Sunday. I’m tempted to bid, but I can’t seem to hide my bake sale and breakfast burrito belly bulge.

Book Burritos

Michelle at Consuming Louisville has another benefit for the Louisville Free Public Library, but this time it’s not a bake sale; it’s an internet meetup (technically a tweetup) at the Highlands Q’doba.

[The Highlands] Qdoba will be donating $1 from every burrito sold during the breakfast burrito tweetup to the Library Foundation.

[edit]

So this Friday morning come to the Bardstown Road Qdoba location (corner of Bardstown Road and Eastern Parkway) to enjoy some tasty, tasty breakfast burritos, socialize with cool internet people and support the library all at the same time.

With all these food-related library benefits, I think we’ll have to organize a LFPL 5k.
